A report, 'Repair of HZE-particle-induced DNA double-strand breaks in normal human fibroblasts,' is newly published data in Radiation Research. "DNA damage generated by high-energy and high-Z (HZE) particles is more skewed toward multiply damaged sites or clustered DNA damage than damage induced by low-linear energy transfer (LET) X and gamma rays. Clustered DNA damage includes abasic sites, base damages and single-(SSBs) and double-strand breaks (DSBs)," scientists in the United States report.
